Commissioners reviewed bids for pool repairs and resurfacing, debated timing and cost, and voted to delay any contractor selection until additional quotes are in hand.

A parks crew member said bids from local contractors have been limited; one installer is expected to deliver a quote later in the week. Commissioners discussed a faster but costlier option from Madison Blanton (a contractor mentioned in packets), which staff said could take two to three weeks to arrive on site and three to four weeks to finish, weather permitting.

The commission discussed available one-time ARPA funds during deliberations. One participant stated an available unallocated ARPA balance of "roughly $480,000" and noted that interest on those funds is currently handled separately. Commissioners worried that delaying work could increase costs next year.

After discussion, one commissioner moved to rescind a prior motion that had forwarded the Madison proposal to the finance committee; the motion to rescind was seconded and approved by voice vote. Commissioners resolved to seek one more bid before making a final selection and to consider temporary patching to keep the pool serviceable for the coming season.

Separately, commissioners addressed pool operations: opening and closing dates, party pricing, staffing levels and wages. Staff recounted neighboring jurisdictions' party and season-pass rates (e.g., a two-hour party price comparisons were mentioned), and the commission discussed lifeguard and manager staffing levels required for various party sizes and how that affects pricing.

A motion was made and approved to bring a full packet of proposed pool dates, party pricing, season-pass structures and wage levels to the next meeting so the commission can set rates and program details then. Staff will prepare comparative data from neighboring counties and the commission's flyer information for review.
